Freedom of expression, Freedom of religion, Freedom from want, Freedom from fear. For those of you who bully others, For those of you who fully respect I wanted to apologize honorably, For not being myself. For all days were I agreed with discrimination For all days where I fought for only one nation. My liberty is not your liberty, My fourth of july is not your fourth of july. My language is not my destiny, My diversity is what makes me fight. I hope one day you find your peace, I hope one day you find your purpose I hope one day you see our world the way that I see. I hope one day you express yourself, I hope one day you pray in your religion for all I hope one day you accomplish your goals. I hope... Freedom of expression, Freedom of religion, Freedom from want, Freedom from fear.
